RECESS can also compile your styles! Powered by the LESS tokenizer, this means you can compile both CSS and LESS source files directly. The compiler will normalize whitespace, strip units from 0 values, and reorder your properties for you.

By default, if no --config path is provided, RECESS will check for a local .recessrc file.

Programmatic API

RECESS also provides a programmatic API for linting and compiling. This might be useful when integrating RECESS directly into your build process. The API accepts a path (or array of paths), an optional options object, and an optional callback (fired when RECESS finishes processing your files).
